Review # 1 was written on 2019-09-29 00:00:00 Beau Eidt In this book, Arthur writes a story. And as Arthur shows his story to friends and family, everyone gives him advice. And each time Arthur receives a bit of advice, he makes a change to his story. And in the end, his story doesn't look very much like his story anymore. This is a fabulous book to encourage students to write the story they want to tell, and while it's important to get feedback, students don't ever have to change their story to please everyone. A great book to start a unit on revision and to remind kids that they are the authors of their stories.

From the mind of Marc Brown, Arthur has to write a good paper for his class, but he spends the majority of the book trying to figure out ways to make his story more interesting to hear about. "Arthur Writes a Story" is certainly a book for children who also have problems with writing a good paper for class, and the book would help them learn about writing a story that makes them feel comfortable. Marc Brown has done it once again in detailing Arthur's current predicament in writing the perfect story for his class. Marc Brown realistically brings out a child's fear of being a failure in a class, as Arthur goes through the same trauma when he tries to think of everything that would make his story seem more exciting to the class, even if the story does not make any sense. I love the way that Arthur's friends do try to help him out with his story since they inspired him to be more creative with his story. The lesson here is that children should try to pick a topic that they are most comfortable talking about and try to be creative with it, which is what Arthur does throughout the book. Marc Brown's illustrations are as creative as ever, especially of the images where Arthur's imagination goes wild as he thinks of purple striped elephants and elephants floating around on the moon for his story. Also, I like the way that Marc Brown makes Arthur look more human than before because now Arthur's body strongly resembles a human body, but of course, he still has an aardvark head. "Arthur Writes a Story" is a creative and cute little story about the importance of being creative with a story that you are most comfortable writing about. I would strongly recommend this book to children ages four and up since this book will greatly teach small children about how to write the perfect story for a class. From my Epinions Review:
